Wake up Wednesday – Mental Health Conversations
With World Mental Health Day coming up on 10th October, this week’s Wake Up Wednesday focuses on how to hold conversations with your young people about mental health.
Hello Yellow for Young Minds
Our school will be taking part in Hello Yellow on Friday 10th October (World
Mental Health Day) to raise awareness and funds for YoungMinds, the UK’s
leading charity for young people’s mental health.
No young person should feel alone with their mental health and that’s why
Hello Yellow matters. We’re taking this opportunity as a school community to
come together and show our students that we’re with them and they’re never
alone with their mental health.
We’ll be taking part by coming to school wearing yellow.
You can also donate to support our school’s fundraising by through the below website link or through scanning the QR code.
Most importantly, we want to share the resources which YoungMinds offer to support parents and carers if you ever need help and advice to support your children. This includes:
• online resources (www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/)
• a phone line, open 9.30am-4pm (0808 802 5544)
• an online chat for parents and carers to speak to trained
professionals if you’re concerned about your children’s mental
health (www.youngminds.org.uk/parents-helpline/)
